Just a Number

Two stories...

First, we let the kids stay up way, way too late Friday. When telling brother that he'd need to go right to be because he stayed up way past bed bed time, he wanted to know how much past bedtime. We told him 2 and a half hours (told you it was way too late). Not quite getting the idea, he wanted more information. I told him it was how long school lasted (9-11:30 fyi). He quickly said, "Oh, I see, I though that was 8 minutes."

Second, tonight brother told me that he thought a friend from daycare had a sister who was maybe 18 (she's in elementary school, so I doubt this is accurate). I said, 18, huh...how old do you think I am? "Oh, you know, 95 or so." And your gramma? "She's 96." Thanks. Needed that.

Playing Games

Today brother enjoyed a big play day at pre-school. He said his favorite game was T-ball because he really gave that ball a 'whapping'.

He also enjoyed the 'balance beano,' which he said is made to make sure you learn to walk straight.

Goosebumps

It was a bit chilly this morning climbing out of bed, so chilly in fact brother said even his leg hairs were feeling cold. "See," he said, "they're like icicles sticking out because they are frozen."

When I told him those were called goosebumps, he said, "You say the craziest stuff sometimes mom."
